Chapter 74 - Going Through the Other Side. (1/2)

The next morning after everyone ate breakfast, Cassia called out everyone involved in the battle including Harry into the room.

When the ȧduŀts saw Harry in the group of students, most were heavily against it.

”Commander, you can't do this!” A tall young man wearing a dark coat said with anger. ”He's the one who'll defeat the Dark Lord. If anything in this operation goes wrong, we're finished. Everything we worked for for the past couple of years will disintegrate!”

”I agree Commander,” A half-goblin said. ”Having one of our most important member go to a battle right now is just going to cause us unnecessary stress! Why haven't you told us yesterday? At the very least, we'll be a bit more mentally prepared!”

”While I definitely understand your concern, it's not much to worry about,” Cassia said. ”This is a very minor battle and having 20 of you go with 10 students is definitely safe enough. Furthermore, the students are not pushover either. They've been trained by some of the best at Hogwarts including McGonagall, Flitwick, and Snape. All they're missing is a little bit of actual battle experience,”

”But..”

”Luthor, I usually let people voice their opinions in plans, but this will be the one time that I will not allow anyone here to oppose!” Cassia exclaimed angrily. ”Harry Potter in this mission is something that I deem necessary! These students have also gone through battles and have practiced for years. They are not babies that need constant supervision. They only need a bit of protection against stronger Death Eaters!”

Hearing the angry screams of Cassia quieted everyone in the room down although they still were not satisfied with Cassia's decision.

”Alright, so now that we got everything out of the way, let's get ready shall we?” Cassia asked with smile. ”Everyone go back outside and get ready. Mr. Potter, please stay behind. I want to speak to you on some matters before you leave,”

Harry looked visibly confused as he did not expect to be sent into the battle in the first place.

Everyone including Chris left leaving Harry alone with Cassia.

Outside the room, the ȧduŀts were all disgruntled with the decision.

”I can't believe the commander did this. If something goes wrong, what did we fight for? So many of our friends died. Some of her closest friends died for all of this,” Luthor, the tall young man wearing the dark coat said to his friends.
